The Southeastern Conference announced its opening week matchups on Monday afternoon, revealing the roster for the first seven games of 2020. Despite the on-going coronavirus pandemic, the league has shown every indication that it will continue forward with its conference-only schedule beginning on Sept. 26.
The University of Florida was pitted against non-divisional foe Ole Miss, whose first-year coach Lane Kiffin will be looking to set the tone for his team against a heavily-favored Florida team. The Gators will begin their conference-only season on the road far from the friendly confines of The Swamp, but they bring in high expectations after a commendable showing in 2019.

However, while the Gators may be a better overall team, do not count the Rebels out in this weird 2020 year where anything seems possible, especially with Kiffin at the helm on the opposite sideline.
